Default Message Rules Problem

My 350+ Rules have suddenly DISAPPEARED - only in the Default email account -
the other 3 accounts still have their Rules. I tried System Restore and had
no luck, as it said there had been no changes. Any help would be greatly
appreciated.

Thank you,

Wendy

They are kept in the Registry. The following might work.

Do this with OE closed.
Go to Start | Run and type
regedit
and press the Enter key. Navigate to
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Identities\{GUID}\Software\Micro soft\Outlook
Express\5.0\Rules and export that key. Then delete the key and close
Regedit.
Right click the exported REG file and choose Merge.
Restart the computer and open OE to see if the rules are back.

I take it that it worked. I'm glad because it does not always work.
